TORONTO, Ont, Dec 6.-[Special. +
There is every indication of financial
panic throughout Ontario soon. The
suspension of the Ontario Bank has
been followed by general decline in
bank stock. There is great stringency

assuring. Two large wholesale dry
goods firms in London, Ontario, have
failed within the last few days, and
several English firms are heavily in
volyed. Other firms are hard pushed
by banks, and it is also feared that
some of the small banks will collapse
